I had an excellent experience with Steve. He really understood my footwear needs, and I walked away with the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Thank you, I highly recommend this place.

What a great experience with this shop! I am thrilled to have discovered it! An excellent selection of gear for runners, and the only Canadian retailer for Creepers socks 🔥

Great little shop with an impressive selection, excellent service, and very reasonable prices. They even had high-quality flagging tape, and at a lower price than the low-end products sold at Canadian Tire.

A nice little place! You enter through the cafe. They have a decent, but limited, selection of running and hiking items, some clothing and Darn Tough socks as well as Smartwool wool! You can also find a few camping accessories there; I bought a flashlight! I wanted a size L Smartwool t-shirt that they had on the rack about a month ago, but it was a size M. I went back a few days ago to see if they had gotten any more in, and it was still there. It's definitely not the ideal place for hiking or trail running beginners, but it's a good starting point because they offer quality gear, even if the selection is limited!
